The dress that’s dividing a nation

It all started with that picture. A post on Tumblr from a user named swiked. Her friends couldn’t agree on the color of the dress. Simple enough. White and gold, right? Some would say, yes, of course. Others would insist black and blue.

Early on, when we were only at Twitter DefCon 3, BuzzFeed ran a poll asking the color. So far, about 800,000 people have voted. At last check, 74% were at odds with Swift and Franco and maintained that the dress is, indeed, white and gold. That’s when BuzzFeed threw some gas on the fire and followed up with a post claiming “Debate Settled.”
